Was (Not Was) band name meaning

There are always those bands who feel they can only exist if all members are willing to use one and the same last name. The Ramones are convincing evidence. That is also the case with Was (Not Was): the founders of this pop rock band originating from Detroit, Michigan, David Weiss and Don Fagenson, go through life musically as Don and David Was. 

Make sure to say the name correctly: say wââhs and not wos. To give the fans a helping hand a band name was conceived of that - for all we know - is unique in the sense that it includes a compact pronunciation guide. So in fact we need to read Was (Not Was) as Wââhs (Not Wos). 

Will you please keep this in mind from now on? Thank you.

Who band name meaning

Masterly mod band from Shepherd's Bush, London that, despite a drastic decline in the number of band members, managed to maintain their identity quite well.

Started as The High Numbers. Wherever Townshend and his men showed up the response to their first band name was a confused 'The who?'.

That was all over after they started calling themselves The Who – in response to that name at least no one said 'The high numbers?'
